That solved the compile problem, hadn't made the ln -s gcc gnatgcc,
picked up the old one in the PATH

There is another problem during installation, for that version and the 
current 6.3-20220312:
tic

        You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX.
        These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled
        using
                tic -x
        If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL
        document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.
